I totally agree with you. The portraits are far more intersting than the other icons.

I didn't do more of them though because I felt like they would not transport the feel of a MMO that well. Furthermore it is quite hard to make a readable icon in that size (50px x 50px).

What I originally planned was to pixel 3 portraits and 3 characters using race specific weapons or items. It didn't took long before I realized that is was almost impossible to put enough information into the 46x46 square to make everything distinguishable enough.

The most economical (and laziest) way for me was to do just symbols and items. :P

Very cool. I love how you make nice use of colours in your metal. And boy, you need to keep making icon-sized portraits! :D

My one complaint about this piece is that the Necron symbol, Slaanesh symbol and the stikkbomb are relatively simple and uninteresting compared to the other icons, which are fantastic. If this had just been 6 portraits of the same quality as the first 3, it would have been really magnificent.

I know very little about Warhammer (I've seen the figures in games workshop) so I can't comment on their accuracy but I really like the portraits, but as always lovely colouring. The topmost icon is incredibly vivid, I'd swear it glows in the dark! Against the other icons the purple one is a bit one-note a bit too......purple?
